Hello all
I write for Trout Fisherman magazine and I was very interested to read your reactions and experiences on this growing trend for catching Bass on the fly.
Is there anyone in the Dover/Folkstone area who is experienced in this technique and would be prepared to take me out for a day to show me the ropes.
It would make a good article for our southern readers who are interested in this branch of the sport..

Best wishes
Arkadi de Rakoff

Shiney,

I've been swffing for 5 years now and haven't touched a bait for four! Living in Dorset you probably have some of the best fly fishing venues in the country right on your door step. Bass are great fun, but don't forget about the Mackerel, Pollock, Garfish and Scad, which all give a good account of themselves on fly gear. Stock up on Prozac if you plan to try for the Mullet though . 8O
